KEY SCRIPTURE: Luke 1:74 KJV” That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.”
Many have questioned privily in their hearts, asking, is life meaningful at all? What is the meaning of living? A good number of people have gone for pleasure, amusement, and what have you, yet like King Solomon wrote, all is vanity upon vanity. Many more have plunged themselves into absolute darkness by taking God, who is the cause and essence of life out of the picture. This is the misery of billions of humans who are only wanderers in this life.
Well, life is very meaningful if one comes to terms with the plans and programs of God. Rev 4:11 KJV” Thou art worthy, O Lord,) to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. God created all things for His pleasure. The joy, benefit or importance of any created thing, is to live out what it was made for. You can’t use your pen to slice plantain. A pen is only meaningful if it is used to write
Our key scripture gives us the order to live this meaningful life. That scripture is in two parts. First a deliverance from our enemies. Secondly, we are to serve God in holiness and righteousness.
Men, because of sin were under the bondage of our enemies, the devil, and his cohorts. This was the reason, the Lord Jesus came; that He might deliver us from Satan’s bondage, through His death and resurrection. Everyone must access this liberty by accepting Jesus as Lord. The second part is to live in holiness and righteousness all the days of our lives. If we have been delivered from Satan’s dominion, then it is just right that we live free from every control or influence of the wicked one. This is what holiness is about. Holiness is simply separation from Satan and everything he stands for and rather to live for God.
À meaningful life is to know God personally and do those things that glorify His name. We are the workmanship of God, created in Christ Jesus unto good works which God has ordained that we walk in them. A life dedicated to being a blessing would certainly be a happy and meaningful one. Refuse to be selfish ‘for selfishness is the mother of all sorrows ‘ E W Kenyon. According to Rev 4:11, GOD created us for His pleasure. We please Him if our lives please Him. It is in pleasing Him that we find meaning in this life.
A meaningful life is one dedicated to God serving Him in love and free from all satanic controls, both in actions and other forms of manipulations. Any form of satanic dominance in an individual’s life should not be tolerated and must be checked out.
CONFESSION
I am living a very meaningful life, for I am free from all satanic controls and have love for my heavenly father. I walk in uprightness and exercise dominion over every work of Satan in any shape or form. My life brings glory to the Father and I am blessed ultimately.
